Cruely Yours

Chapter 6

I thought school was much easier alone. I only tolerated it because Cruella was by my side for most of it. I met a new friend there too. I don’t talk to her for the same reason. She was a traitor to my relationship with Cruella. I remember her name well, it’s Janett. She is from the same upper class neighborhood as Cruella. I never saw her around back then at all.



I: Did you know anything about the arson crimes that took place while you were there? There were 4 or 5 of them that happen on campus when you were there.

A: I knew of them by newspaper, but that is as far as I know about them. It was strange to say the least. I would not know anyone who would other than Cruella. I did know it was Janett’s things that got burned to ash. I was away from the dorms on a light walk. I saw someone sneak into the back woods but that is it. I had no part in that. We did all go on a fashion trip to be a part of the major showing.


The trip was long but eventful. As we drove, Cruella enthusiastically shared the history of every high-end fashion house we passed. I could see the passion burning in her eyes, though I wished she would focus more on developing her own skills. I knew she had talent within her—or at least, she used to. While we traveled, I noticed a slight twitch near her mouth that usually meant she was hiding something. She wouldn't tell me what it was until we were alone, away from Janet. At the time, I was too distracted by the charming cupcake shop and art gallery near our lodgings to give it much thought. We had three weeks until the fashion show, plenty of time to explore this quaint little town.

Once Cruella was alone with me, she spilled every little detail she did not want me to know. It felt like I was part of a movie and I wanted no part in it. Cruella setting Janet's designs on fire was the last thing I wanted to hear that morning. I could not put any words out that I wanted and all I could do was watch as she was laughing about it like it was a joke. This is not the person I want to spend most of my time with today. I walked out once she was done. I was livid that she could have done such and without me. She got to do something like that without me. I guess I will give her the same treatment.

I will set Janet on fire at the show and blame her for it. Oh, that would be just grand for her won't it. It was her dream to set the stage on fire. I know her all to well at this point not to do something drastic. I could see her in that tight little black dress waiting for the show to start and to only hear that Janet was setting things on fire. Only for her to have not gotten out in time.

I could have Cruella all to myself from then on. I know she would come crawling back to me. Cruella finding out that our awful third wheel was gone. We would get to stay longer in this town just for that. I was still walking til I found the art shop there. I needed some supplies anyway. Furthermore, I checked it out and wandered around this colorful store. Paints and brushes neatly in rows on the shelves. This would be my place of peace for me and only me.

I can see Cruella running past the store trying her best to find me. I was in a far corner where no one could see me. Furthermore, I knew she was not a great seeker. Her eyes met mine or so I would think. She walked right past me and checked the storage closet. She came back and dragged me by the hand back to where everything was gone. The little fire I set was not supposed to go that far. I guess it will have to do. She does not seem happy with me at the moment.

I would have to think of something for the press. That is a later thought for me. She will just have to wait on me to tell her and the press the fable story. Oh, she won't know a thing. Will she keep looking for answers to why the place was on fire ? I only wanted her to be the one on fire...It won't be long before I go back to regular classes again. I won't miss any of this Janet stuff at all. Janett has prevented this and now she won't be in my way at all anymore. Christmas is the only other thing I look forward too. I walk away from Cruella and see an adoption shop with puppies in the window.

I wonder if I can have one after school is done. I would want to get one before I leave town afterschool. I never asked if Cruella liked dogs and I kind of want to know if she does not. She does love her furs, but that didn't happen til a few years after her fathers travel gifts. She did say she lives for fashion and furs. It would be a wonderful surprise if it did happen. I need a little bit of time before I say a word to the press.

Time for a little lunch with the peer reviewer to see what needs to be done for other projects. I heard about the new church need more books for the new seating.I know Cruella never want to be in a relgion, so I don't think she would want to just sit and watch. That for know was the least of my concerns. I want it to stay that way.

This would give me a bit more time to think about how I want to word things. I prefer to prepare what I would like to say to the press. I could try and write some of what I want to say. I feel it would be worth my time to keep Cruella in the dark about all of this. I am her sweet darling after all,I would not dare to do such a thing like that.

I made sure that the interview would not share this with the public. The news wanted to have a word with me after they heard what happened at the fashion show. I can put on a fake act to pretend that I was just as supprised as they were. That is the easy part for me. At this point it is time for everyone who was there to learn the truth.

The supposed truth that I did not do it. I will never tell the public that without a plan. I always plan ahead for something like this. That is what I thought I did and I did not need more public attencion than I already do. It will take away from my other work that I need to do. I just want more time to plan another scheme if anything were to happen to Cruella.
